He is the latest in a long line of celebs rumoured to be heading for the I'm A Celeb campsite.

So far stars linked to the new series include talk show host Matthew Wright, The Only Way Is Essex stars Joey Essex and Sam Faiers, snooker champion Steve Davis, Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell and Emmerdale actress Lucy Pargeter.

Former X Factor star Rylan Clark is also thought to have signed up, and is currently the favourite to be crowned king of the jungle, with odds of 9/2 from b ookmakers William Hill.

William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said: " Rylan is certain to make a mess of any bushtucker trial he is asked to do - in fact, I for one would not be surprised if he fails to win a star when he is in the jungle."
